Got docked here aswell with milk that was on a 4 day, collection at 84000, the next test was 12,000 and never done a thing different because both tests results came through together....thought 50,000 was the limit bit of a piss take with tbc testing 4 day old milk too even eu regulations have 3 days as the máx milk is ment to stay in a farmers tank

Having trouble here too. Not only did they test a 4 day collection but they took a further 2 days to do the test as the sample had to come back to mallow from wherever they're going with it. They're not testing at weekends either afaik so Friday samples won't be tested til Monday

I came across the following table in a teagasc slideshow to new entrants in 09. According to it tbc goes bananas after 3 days. Think it should be in the supply agreement that tbc tests will be done before milk is 3 days old. Will be bringing it up with my advisor once I get a few more samples tested

Tbc normally runs between 10 and 15 here, but was in 20's whenever it was taken from a four day collection this fall. I could be wrong, but I thought the rule was if ur milk is tested on a four day collection, the result was to be divided by 4 and multiplied by 3.

What's winter bonus with dairygold?

What I heard recently - Irish agriculture can not produce milk and most other staff at competitive prices. Italian produced milk cost only 0.12-0.14 euro per litre. Irish milk - is not possible to produce at these prices.

No it's 30% max of 09/10 base supply, id prefer the 8c frazzledhome and others are getting tho. Will look to reduce the fresh calvers and milk on the spring calvers in order to keep the manufacturing price up a bit for winter months. Will most likely be 2016 season before that happens

I thought someone posted a link a short while ago about wet weather causing difficulties in that region in Nov.

That's serious going for stale or late cows,must be 6 euro plus of milk daily with ur liquid contract etc

Lots of activity going on re bulling last week. Two nearly every second day. Kind of upsets whole shed I'm putting it down to that. good few heifers aswell. And few empties and april calvers in mix. Not too pushed about milk with quota

With a diet of just average grass and flat rate parlour fed meal it's about as good as he can hope for. My autumn ladies are not doing much better despite having maize and FTY nuts (up to 6kg). It's a large reason for cutting right back on the autumn calvers.

85% served. In 17 days. After missing one cow never came bulling. Not too many to get now. Having very very good heats

80. % seen bulling. 0% served, 100% spring calving for 2015, will see what it's all about, will hang on to baileys contract and small bit of liquid, spent last five years getting cows and grass right to make the change

Good going to get so many in heat but the proof is in how many hold after 21 days.would u not be a tad concerned though at your average yield of 20 ltrs though,Surely it should be closer to 25.could be way off but sounds like they ain't getting enough energy at that level ,solids fairly good in fairness

I would be if quota wasn't there
but yes they should be at 25.
Reckon there at 22 and stales less than 15.
Hopefully it will be like what it used to be with very few repeats. Looking forward to see how it goes. Technician says there in as good condition as he's vseen in other places

Dad tempted to buy liquid contract here. Loads will be doing what your doing from next yrs on. Milk everything for 300 days.
Be interesting to see if you make any more money
